Milano, Italy
Four years ago, I earned a Master's degree in Fashion Design from Istituto Marangoni in Milan. I began my professional journey as a footwear designer at the renowned Italian startup brand "Thomas Neuman," specializing in crafting empowering shoes for women. During that time, I immersed myself in production by visiting manufacturers in the Riviera di Brenta region. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, I persisted as a footwear designer for the prestigious brand "Gallucci" and collaborated with the renowned brand "Eleventy." Additionally, I created a captivating capsule footwear collection for "Balmain Kids," which received tremendous acclaim. Previously, I dedicated my efforts to building my own brand, creating swimwear, denim, and t-shirts in collaboration with esteemed Italian manufacturers. Currently, I work as a freelance consultant, assisting clients worldwide in bringing their ideas to life by providing design and production expertise. As a freelancer on Upwork, I have developed designs and tech packs for various products, offering comprehensive range plans and collection strategies. With valuable connections to manufacturers in Italy, I streamline the production process. Fashion design is my true passion, and I enjoy collaborating with international individuals to help them develop their dream brands. I believe that creating unique pieces, coupled with a well-crafted strategy and business plan, is the key to building a successful brand. I have gained extensive experience in designing and producing a wide range of products, including footwear for kids, women, and men, as well as bags such as handbags, backpacks, and tote bags. Additionally, I have expertise in designing menswear, specifically denim, and womenswear, including t-shirts, hoodies, sweatpants, denim, and swimwear. I can provide assistance with the following: -Developing a comprehensive collection structure -Creating a detailed range plan -Designing captivating and innovative pieces -Preparing a fully-detailed tech pack for seamless production -Identifying suitable suppliers -Recommending fabric suppliers, color combinations, sizing options, and hardware suppliers.

STOP GUESSING. START SEEING. Most brands lose momentum and budget in the space between concept and execution. You have a vision, a moodboard, and a direction, but when development starts, clarity begins to slip. Decisions get delayed, sampling expands, and the collection loses focus. I help bridge that gap. With nearly 30 years of experience across fashion design, product development, and collection coordination, I’ve seen the full lifecycle of a garment from concept to production. Today, I combine that hands-on industry knowledge with AI and digital visualization to help brands test ideas, refine direction, and make stronger decisions earlier. HOW I HELP YOU WORK MORE CLEARLY: ■ COLLECTION DIRECTION: Turning references, ideas, and mixed inputs into a more cohesive and structured collection vision. ■ AI VISUAL DEVELOPMENT: Building strong editorial, catalogue, and concept visuals to explore and communicate ideas before sampling. ■ KNITWEAR & PRODUCT INSIGHT: Supporting knitwear-focused development with experienced eyes on silhouette, balance, and product direction. ■ SOURCING SUPPORT: Helping brands identify materials, suppliers, and manufacturers that align with the creative and commercial goals of the collection, while matching the right product to the right producer. I was recently named one of LinkedIn’s 12 AI Fashion Creators to Follow in 2026, but my real value isn’t just the tools I use. It’s understanding how fashion ideas evolve, where collections lose clarity, and how to bring direction back into the process. Before moving into AI-supported visual strategy, I spent decades at the heart of the industry, including a pivotal role coordinating the Anglomania collection by Vivienne Westwood. I understand the standards of luxury, the realities of development, and the importance of keeping creative vision aligned with execution. If you need experienced support in knitwear, sourcing, or AI-driven fashion visuals, I’d be glad to discuss your project.
